Description
This is a technical study of Middle Egyptian grammar aimed at enhancing our understanding of tense, mood and aspect; a difficult area of research because, as the author notes, 'we have no informants, since the discovered mummies have so far stubbornly refused to speak and are not expected to change their minds in the future'.
